Believed to have been a hunting lodge in the 13C and later transformed in the mid 19C, this fascinating building is rich in gothic detailing with crenelations, gargoyles, cherubs, and medieval mottos.
Above the mullioned windows with diagonal panes, the slate and lead roof is dominated by a central square tower and flanked by two pepper pot turrets, one of which holds a secret staircase.

This enchanting property appears to be set in another world. Past owners have included musicians, artists and sculptors. Despite its fairytale appearance, it is a surprisingly practical house for modern living. It is a joy to visit
